808.3Can't open RICHED32.DLL on NT AlphaNNTPD::"meagherk@mail.dec.com"Kent MeagherTue Apr 29 1997 02:5925
Re: -1

I'm entering this reply in hopes that it will help someone else.  I was
pulling down the Alpha Exchange client from the CCS server, and was getting
78% of the way done when Setup complained that it could not open RICHED32.DLL.
 

Sure, the file was there, but it was apparently being used by some process and
SETUP could not open the file.  Well, I had nothing else running, only DIAL-UP
(which I obviously needed).  I could not delete the file either, since it was
opened and would not grant me access.

Guess what it was?  You might have gotten it, it was FX!32.  You have to go
into Control Panel,  Add/Delete Applications, choose FX!32, and click on the
Disable radio button, then reboot.  (Don't Remove it, just Disable).  

After this, I tried deleting the DLL file as a test, and was allowed to.  That
gave me a good feeling.  So I came up without FX!32, dialed in, and was able
to sucessfully install Exchange Client for Alpha.  Then of course, when I was
done, I got back into Control Panel and Enabled FX!32, booted again, and was
fine.

Hope this helps!

808.4But don't delete RICHED32.DLL!NNTPD::"MeagherK@mail.dec.com"Kent MeagherTue Apr 29 1997 03:028
re -.1

After reading my last reply, I didn't mean to imply that you should delete
RICHED32.DLL.  You'll need it for the Exchange install.  I undeleted it
after my test ;>).

Buena suerte!

808.5Just renamepcivb1.vbo.dec.com::BERGERVincent BergerWed Apr 30 1997 01:239
Generally when something like that happens, you can just rename the 
file that can't be accessed (you can't delete it but you can usually 
rename it). That will allow SETUP to proceed happily. Of course if 
the file is really a new version, you might need to reboot to have 
the new file taken in account, but in general it's the same stuff 
being installed over and over again (MSVCRT.DLL and MFC*.DLL are good 
at that).

808.6fx!32 and not being able to delete the fileNETCAD::BARENYSJohn BarenysWed Apr 30 1997 06:2215
re .3

After a successful install of the Exchange Client for Alpha
with FX!32 running I read over your note a few times to see
what the difference could have been.  It appears that the DLL 
the client wanted to install over was in use by FX!32 (most likely
the optimizer got a hold of it).  I would guess that this
is something that happened as a result of the original failed
install.

If you have the time you might want to try it again w/ FX!32
installed and see if fails again.  The folks at the FX!32 
development team might like the data point...
